Luck
So, to get off of the whole server down mess, I wanted to bring up the subject of luck. I saw one post in the official forums in which a person commented that HGL has a "luck" modifier on some items, which is essentially the equivalent of magic find. Can anyone from beta confirm this? I hope so, as magic find was awesome. 
Comments
Yep I have a piece of equipment that has luck +32. I had no idea what it meant though. Perhaps now is a good to to actually read the manual. lol
It is and it does effect.
I have 200 luck on live and it makes a huge difference on drops. Lots more legendaries have dropped for me along with 2 uniques as apposed to beta where I had no luck and at lvl 22 i had only seen 1 unique.
I am only lvl 14 on live atm so it makes a huge difference if you want a comparison.
I have a few items with luck on them. Haven't seen a difference in loot. Even w/o any i've been seeing better drops than what some ppl have reported getting so far. I've gotten at least 20 gold/yellows whatever they are. Tons of greens and blues. So much loot drops it's hard to tell though.
Yes there are items with +luck on them.
Helps alot to find many shiney objects
I as of now have a total of 219 luck.
I find ALOT of stuff.
Awesome. Thanks for the info.
Actually one of my characters in beta had some equipment with luck on it. I couldn't find where to look in my stats to see how much luck I had though? But when I donned the lucky armor, then whenever I went into an instance, there was more areas that I could explore.
Also... The little icons on the bottom right of your screen... whenever you do something related to those 3 icons, loot appears around you. What do those icons stand for? I don't have a book or anything to read, haven't received my game yet.
Unless I'm blind, I don't see an explanation of them in the manual, which is kind of annoying (unless, of course, I am blind) ...

Don't feel bad. I haven't figured them out either.
I also didn't see any explanation for them in the manual.
The manual is uhm... greatly lacking.
had a helm drop with +32 luck right before the servers went down for maint.
Thats because ya learn from playing the game
that manual is just a way to print the cd-key
From what I understood, those are short-term achievements to be met, the reward being that loot-drop you mentioned. The hammer-icon, as far as I could tell with my Blademaster, meant something kill "Kill X bad guys using a melee weapon". All three mean something similar. Do all three, and CASHING!
Now playing: City of Heroes/Villains, Age of Conan
Played: Eve, Hg:L, Vanguard, WoW, FFXI, Planetside, Neocron, Battlezone, EQII, AO, CoX, AA, DDO
I win at Vanguard.
